Biomolecules, 2021 Renin–angiotensin systems produce angiotensin II (Ang II) and angiotensin 1-7 (Ang 1-7), which are able to induce opposite effects on circulation. This study in vivo assessed the effects induced by Ang II or Ang 1-7 on rat pial microcirculation during ...

Onset of experimental severe cardiac fibrosis is mediated by overexpression of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 [PDF]
, 2009 Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 is a recently identified homologue of ACE. There is great interest in the therapeutic benefit for ACE2 overexpression in the heart.

Angiotensins and the Heart [PDF]
Hypertension, 2015 See related article, pp 389–395 Left ventricular hypertrophy is the most common cardiac complication of hypertension. Although the initial adaptations associated with cardiac hypertrophy are compensatory, ultimately abnormal ventricular function including diastolic dysfunction (impaired relaxation) and often heart failure may develop.1 Activation of ...

Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System in Heart Failure: Focus on Nonclassical Angiotensin Pathways as Novel Upstream Targets Regulating Aldosterone [PDF]
, 2019 Aldosterone plays an important role in the regulation of blood pressure, body fluid, and electrolyte homeostasis. Overactivation of aldosterone/mineralocorticoid receptor (MR) pathway leads to hypertension, atherosclerosis, vascular damage, heart failure,

ACE2 of the heart: From angiotensin I to angiotensin (1–7) [PDF]
Cardiovascular Research, 2007 Angiotensin II (Ang II), a bioactive peptide of the renin-angiotensin system (RAAS), plays an important role in the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Pharmacological inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), the Ang II forming enzyme, or specific blockade of Ang II binding to angiotensin type 1 receptor (AT1R) through which it ...
